Images can be altered. I do it all the time.
Pretty hard to modify a compressed encrypted disk image stored on a read only media.
The Data Transfer Rate of Podesta's emails could only have been accomplished using a USB Drive.
But, said Barger and other experts, that overlooks the possibility the files were copied multiple times before being released, something that may be more probable than not in a bureaucracy like Russian intelligence.
“A hacker might have downloaded it to one computer, then shared it by USB to an air gapped [off the internet] network for translation, then copied by a different person for analysis, then brought a new USB to an entirely different air gapped computer to determine a strategy all before it was packaged for Guccifer 2.0 to leak,” said Barger.
Every time the files were copied, depending on the method they were transmitted, there would be a new chance for the metadata to be changed.
Hultquist said the date that Forensicator believes that the files were downloaded, based on the metadata, is almost definitely not the date the files were removed from the DNC.
Why the latest theory about the DNC not being hacked is probably wrong
The Pakistani Hackers or Seth Rich himself did this
LOL
Wrong. The Data Transfer Rate was embedded in the files as MetaData. This MetaData was shared with the Public and verified to have not been altered.
Try again with another lie, dummy.
The metadata only reflects the last time the file was copied, not when it was removed from the DNC servers.
this would be an incorrect statement.
What is file metadata?
Metadata is information stored in almost any type of file. It can include your name, your company or organization's name, the name of your computer, the name of the network server or drive where you saved the file, personalized comments and the names and times of previous document authors, revisions, or versions.
These details could be useful or detrimental to you depending on the situation. For example, if you want to track the different authors of a file, it could be good, though if you wish to conceal the different authors of a file it could be bad. If you are working in legal matters or simply wish to maintain privacy, removing as much data as possible can be prudent, as metadata will follow the file if you share a copy of it with someone else.
Metadata can also be very helpful, especially when making searches in Windows and other operating systems. For example, if your collection of pictures has well maintained metadata, then it is very easy to search and find a certain picture you took, at a certain location on a very specific day, with a specific camera.
To simplify the concept, you can think of metadata as a file's description. The description can be anything and it can includes all kinds of data that describe the file: its type, its size, who created it, when, with what, and so on.
